We had some trouble getting to the apartment. The address that was given to us brought us to another location. The host gave us a map to show our taxi driver and on that map was a number to call if we needed assistance. Our taxi driver called that number to ask for directions but in turn, the person on the other end said that there was no such reservation for today (???) Feeling frustrated, our taxi driver ended the call and decided that we'll drive around a little to figure it out. We then had to change the address to something else that was suggested by Google Maps that finally brought us to the actual building. Upon arrival, we waited outside a glass door that was locked. There was no one at reception and no door bell that we could ring. We knocked several times and even tried to call the host (its a good thing we got a sim card at the airport) but the host was unavailable and did not answer our several calls. Finally after a long time, a lady appears to open the door. I tried to tell her that we waited a long time but she could not understand English and realised my efforts were redundant.
Generally the place was alright. What we loved most about it was the location. Emporium and Emquartier mall was a short walking distance away. The BTS station was also close-by which made it very convenient. There are also shops along the street such as Family Mart, restaurants and massage/spa hubs.
As for the actual apartment, I think the building itself is generally new as there were barely any tenants living there (we felt like the only ones). Our apartment was clean with basic furniture like a couch and a small dining table. There was a TV but it wasn't working so that was quite disappointing. Fridge works well but there was no dish washing soap or sponge so we were unable to wash any dishes. We were only there for a short stay so it did not seem reasonable to buy some. The water that comes from the sink and shower has a weird sulphur smell to it but water pressure is decent. Also one of the showers did not have a proper shower head attached to it but rather a bidet head. No shampoo or shower gel was provided so we had to buy our own. Towels and one roll of toilet paper was given. Also, upon arriving to our room there was some strands of hair on the bed which was unpleasant.
Overall I would say the best thing about the place is its location, but the apartment itself could use improvement.
